[Pirate site removed]

Bought 3 latest DVD`s from this company ( Malaysian based ) at excellent price.

Payed through CCNOW (secure credit card rating)
Kept fully informed and DVD`s were sent individually and by tracked recorded delivery arriving in about 10 days.

Site has on offer buy 4 get one free.
The seller has good ratings where I first saw him on Yahoo Auctions.

A "company" that trade from a free Geogcities website - hmmm very dodgy. They are screaming pirates! Much as I hate the corporations for ripping people off, I have no love of people who steal either.

Think I`ll avoid these cowboys.

Well Barnum

Your namesake earned a living showing freaks at circus sideshows
so I suppose you could call it piracy of human kind.

The company is highly recommended by the 300 excellent ratings
it got on an auction site.

It is highly secure through CCNOW the worlds top money transaction
business.

Now the 3 dvd`s I received I had previously seen at the cinema so I had
already given my share to the Film Industry.

The dvd`s I recevied were fully sealed with security tabs and with all the normal extras. They did not look like pirates but I bow to your better
judgement.
.

I suppose it is up to the individual if they want to pay £8 for a recent
DVD or £12 to £17 at a suppose recognised dealer .

It is up to the Film Industry to get their act together not people like you
offering lack lustre support.

No offence meant !

"No offence meant !"

Offence taken!

Geocities is a web host for everyday Joe`s to post personal websites - "My holiday photos" etc. For a legit. company to be hosting their business here strikes me as more than a little suspicious. Also the number of pirate goods that are plain shoddy leads to people being ripped off. So pardon me for trying to help.

My stance of not buying pirate also appies to not buying overpriced legit stuff to bolster the pockets of the corporate fat cats. If you don`t buy it they have no choice but to drop the prices.

Off the DVD topic - you said Barnum earned a living "showing freaks at circus sideshows". He actually employed these people who did not consider themselves freaks, but as special. They earned a good living by just turning up and having to do nothing. Read the book "Memoirs of a Sword Swallower" for more info.

You`re right enemyonpc.

Everyone should have the choice.

Site has now been removed.

Re Barnum I have looked up his history.

His grandson did an autobiography called ` BARNUM`S SLAVES`

He frequently bought his ` Wonders of the World` also known by the
general public at that time as `Freaks`.

He was known to beat and flog them having given one of his slaves
50 lashes for disobedience.

The freaks were part of a `ZOO` culture which Barnum manipulated to
his own ends making him a very wealthy man.

I end my case and again mean no offence although you have justified the
administrator in removing the initial DVD trading site.
